Coheed and Cambria Frontman Claudio Sanchez Cuts Off His Iconic Hair

End of an period.

Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez shocked followers by reducing his hair and posting the almost-unrecognizable pictures of himself to Instagram on Nov. 7.

Sanchez shared pictures of his new side-swept haircut and clean-shaven face with the caption, “The time for change has come.” For followers who refused to imagine it was truly Sanchez within the pictures, the singer shared one other put up, this time of his new hair slicked again, together with the caption, “I appear like a youthful model of my grandfather.”

For years, Sanchez’s bushy, lion’s mane hair was such an integral a part of the rock band’s picture, it was nearly like a fifth member.

Sanchez’s unveiled his new look on the heels of the band’s ninth studio album, The Unheavenly Creatures, which was launched on Oct. 5.
